First I had to buy a new tray. I tried to remove the wheels from the old tray but they wouldn't come off without breaking. I ordered new wheels and axels and they went on fine with the aid of a C-clamp. Then I tried to remove the old bumpers but they broke when I tried to remove them.
So, I ordered two new bumpers. When I did I saw t ... Read more hat another user had posted a note saying that the new bumpers slipped on well if heated in hot water first. So, I heated them in hot water and they slipped on easily and safely.

Turn off water and power to the dishwasher. Remove kickboard cover to gain access below the door (2 screws). Water inlet valve was removed using a 5/16 nut driver (1 screw). It is located on the front left side of the dishwasher as you face the appliance. My dishwasher did not need to be pulled out from the cabinet, so using an adjustable

wrench removed the supply line. Used a pair of pliers to remove spring clamp on the other line. I then removed the two wires from the clips on the side of the valve. Installation is the reverse, the wires can be reversed with no consequence.

Pliers, Screw drivers
Our diskwasher is over 20 years old. The manufacture did not even list the model anymore. Googled - Kitchenaid parts old. Found your site and order the part on Sat. night. It arrived on Wed. Installed as follows that night.
After reading other reviews on how the job went and seeing that people had problems getting the tube to ... Read more slide on the outlets I decided to take the rack completely apart so as to have unrestricted access to the connections. Would be easier to work the tube on to them.
First I removed the top rack by releasing the two retainers on the upper rack side rails which hold it up. Then I turned it with bottom up and released all of the plastic clips that held the bottom half of the rack in place. If a clip breaks you can use a nylon cable tie to replace it. Then I took out the screw that holds the metal water bar in place and removed it. Then I took out the screw that holds the plastic part that the water bar was mounted on off. Then with the outlet where the tube was to be mounted not connected to anything it was easy to slide the tube on it. I then was able to slide the tube on to the bracket at the back of the rack. Had to use a screw driver to help get the tube over the round outlet. Then worked it on to where it should be. Reassembled the top rack and put it back on the side rails and washed a load. It worked just like it did when it was new. Saved a service call $75.00 and only took about 30 minutes working at a slow pace.
Love it when everything works like it should.

I removed the old hose, I lightly coated the id of the new tube with vasoline, both ends, and then heated the oblong end with the hair dryer to soften it and it slid on with litte force. The round end installed without heating.

So easy I could do it! I pulled the old tube off (after having dirty dishes for weeks and not realizing it was because of a hole in the hose. When I told my husband I was going to call a repairman, he suggesting ordering the part on line and doing it ourselves - no reason not to! Piece of cake!

Axles on lower rack broken

Very, very simple. The axles are nylon plastic and snap into the plastic-coated metal grid that forms the lower dishwasher rack. Over time they get brittle and break.
Replacement consists of snapping the old axle out of the rack and snapping the new one in. I replaced some of the wheels at the same time, as we had lost them. ... Read more The wheels don't seem to wear out, so if you did this repair in time, you could re-use the wheels.
These little axles are EXPENSIVE ($3.50 each!), but for $30 you can replace all eight of them, and your dishwasher rack will work like new again!

Tube to the top rack that supplies water

The tube had holes from being used but the dishwasher still works great. I researched this part and it was a great price and really easy to fix. The picture looks different than what the tube looks like in the dishwasher but it is correct. Definitely put soap on the ends to help glide it on. Took me 2 minutes to fix.

First the water tube arrived two days earlier than what I was expecting. I pulled the old tube off and slipped the new tube on by hand. The dishes in the top rack are now a lot cleaner than they have been for the past couple of months. In the future if I need repair parts this is where I will be coming to get them.

I removed clips on the end of the rack, removed the rack, and pulled old tube off. Used plain water as a lubricant to ease replacement of new tube on the dilated end. Very easy!
